Sudden wilt in tomato plant
x-no-archive: yes
A week ago I transplanted a tomato plant (Hungarian Italian, about 7 weeks old) into a 7-gal. pot with fresh potting soil. The plant was healthy and vigorous when it went in. Now it's drooping, even though I've watered it generously. The plants in adjoining pots (planted at the same time and under the same conditions) seem to be doing just fine. I've checked the stem of the plant and it doesn't seem to be cut off below ground (I know some insects and grubs can do this). Does anyone know what could be the problem here? Thanks in advance. -- dkra |

Could be shock from transplanting. You don't say whether it went in the pot with a good clump of soil on its roots or if it was bare root or if it's been exposed to strong sun. Lay off the water until the top inch or two is dry, place the pot in filtered shade, and hope for the best. |
